Program Info

The Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Pathology Residency Programs seek to train the next generation of leaders in diagnostics, education and investigation while providing the highest quality of innovative care. The discipline of pathology is devoted to the definitive diagnosis and the understanding of the pathogenesis of human disease. We believe that a solid foundation of knowledge of human pathology and understanding of disease mechanisms is essential for careers in clinical practice and research. Both practitioners and researchers must, in addition, be skilled at synthesizing information, communicating it to others, and teaching. Our programs recognize that each distinct career path in pathology has an optimal blend of training experiences, therefore we provide all residents the opportunity to customize their training to support individual interests and career goals within the constraints of the requirements of the American Board of Pathology and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
